Sony Building at Ginza (銀座)

Yesterday I went to Sony Building and sightseeing at Ginza shopping street.Sony Building has many showrooms in the same building.All kind of products made by Sony are being exhabitated at Sony Building from portable music player to robots. Most of the products are not yet on the market place but they are very interesting because of the new functions and new creative idea in them.I think it is also the way Sony can find out how customers think about the to-be released productions (marketing stuffs). Laptop models with very high spec are displayed too and It made wanna own one of them hehe .Then, I played a little while with Sony Aibo Robot which is very smart and lovely, experienced the high resolution big screen home theater,wow that felt like I was in cinema!
I really had a very good time.
After that I enjoy do a sightseeing at Ginza,the most prestigious and fashionable shopping/dining town in Tokyo.


This little boy enjoy playing a boxing game that use camera to capture his action.

Farewell Party

Last Weekend, I went to a Farewell Party for some Masters and Doctoral students who will go back to Cambodia at the end of September.The party was organized in Tokyo. Around 60 people joined the party and 5 dished are served:
- Numbanhchok samlor Khmer
- Nham Misour
- Fried chicken
- Tomyam bangkea
- Bobor Lapov

Well, They are the simple dished in cambodia, rite? But in Japan because of busy with studying, don't know how to cook khmer food and some ingredients are difficult to find made these dishes taste good to me and other friends!


When we organize a party there's always dancing too. We like dancing here coz it's make us feel good, release stress, .....kekeke


Finally I wish all brothers who will return home this September good luck , get good job and hope we can meet in Cambodia.

Introduction to NAGANO Prefecture

ZENKOUJI Nagano Prefecture is the treasure house of nature, history and culture. Situated in the center of Japan, it is home to the Northern, Central and Southern Alps, and so is often referred to as the "Roof of Japan." Its 13,585 square kilometers play host to four national parks that offer year - round recreational activities, from hiking and camping in spring, summer and autumn, to skiing and skating in winter.The innumerable peaks naturally provide a challenge to mountain climbers of all calibers.
Summer is refreshingly cool, spring and autumn are invigorating, and winter is a snowy wonderland. The many mountains have also ensured a good supply of healthful hot spring spas, patronized by residents and visitors alike.The apples, grapes, pears and peaches cultivated here are renowned throughout Japan, as are the vegetables grown in the highlands.
where NAGANO is
The clear water and clean air have attracted the growing interest of the precision and electronics industries, which have been erecting a number of factories in the area.There are also many cultural attractions in Nagano. There are local arts and crafts museums, modern art collections carrying both domestic and overseas exhibitions.Music lovers will not be disappointed with the many concerts featuring classical, jazz and rock music. With such a variety of activities to choose from, it is no wonder that this great Prefecture of magnificent, unspoiled nature is popular with visitors throughout all the four seasons.In 1998, the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games were held in the various regions of Nagano Prefecture; during this time Nagano was able to impress the people of the world. The eyes of not only Japan but those of the whole world focused on our Prefecture as a winter sports region operating in harmony with nature and modern transportation developments.
